Author’s DenA wonderful human encounter well expressed. I am your age and in an electric wheelchair for the past 25 years. I still drive and often find myself in waiting rooms alone. Even before, when I could still pick up and hold a magazine, like on a plane, I was always annoyed when the passenger in the next seat had his/her nose in a book, magazine or laptop computer, seemingly self engrossed rather than even say, “Hello.” Over the years of initiating conversations and even going so far as join someone eating alone for dessert, I’ve met some fascinating people with fascinating stories. Young people these days tied up in their computer games or conversation with peer friends on the cell phone have no idea what kind of education they can get from engaging conversation with others. Ron
